Downloading LEGO City Undercover Requires External Hard Drive

There's something you should know...

UPDATE 3/18/13:

Despite Nintendo's site (once) indicating otherwise, LEGO City Undercover can be downloaded without an hard drive - provided you have the space, as the game wants 22GB of free storage in order to download. That rules out using a Basic system, though a Deluxe certainly should work.

Original Story:

LEGO City Undercover makes its way to Wii U on March 18. However, if you're planning on downloading the game from Nintendo's eShop, there's something you should know - the game requires that your Wii U has an external hard drive.

Nintendo has provided no official explanation for why the game would require an accessory to be downloaded, or if it has simply not clarified between Basic and Deluxe systems, but we have asked for comment and details. In the meantime, check out our LEGO City Undercover review for more information on the game.
